I'm too sexy for my blog.

oops...i meant to say, i'm too tired for my blog. yes. i have been way too tired. spinning my wheels faster than they can go. but the show must go on. life doesn't stop just because mommy is sleepy. but i did get to go to bed last night at 7:30. which means i also skipped the 5am gym workout today. instead i ran 4 miles in the heat and almost gave myself a heat stroke. needless to say i had a migrane all day. oh whatever!
so before i retired early last night i asked ian to make dinner for me. this is what he served:
a bowl of peanuts
chicken nuggets
frozen fettuchini
a bowl of grapes
frozen roasted corn
...and he was dang proud of himself. thank you my sweet husband! unfortunately i didn't eat much because i had eaten a whole bag of trader joes kettle corn. yes. a whole bag. i have done that every day this week since i discovered them!! it's like i'm eating air. how can one possibly feel guilty for eating popcorn? plus, that bag is so shabby chic! that's the real reason i bought it in the first place!


and the caramels? oh. so this week started out busy and stressful so the only way i knew how to remedy that was to get the best dark chocolate i could find. thanks again trader joe's.
on another note...might i also say "happy holidays" to all my jewish friends celebrating yom kippur, or who did celebrate starting today, thursday. when i ran past the pasadena jewish temple it was packed, police security and all. must be something special.
i make a small promise to post tomorrow in the a.m. i am off to bed so i can get up at 5 tomorrow. i have some fun "crown" things to share.
i also have to add how i've really enjoyed this school yr. so far. i'm really making an effort to work in the kids classes and volunteer more at their activities and i don't think i want to replace that time elsewhere. i watched the kids tonight as we read in beds and prep'd for tests and i just know one day i will look back and wish these days were alive again. i am trying to live in the moment and stop when they need me and want me. there are times when i need and want them and they drop everything for me. i think about my little family and the role we each play in eachother's lives. we are complete because we have eachother. we don't need to search elsewhere for affection, attention, or needs. i don't know if i realize how truly blessed i am but i am trying to count my blessings...one by one.
